I noticed that I still can't clean this damn thing.

Going back out in a minute to shoot some more.

Best glock score is a 294 with G26.

Freestyle

All four hits outside of the bull were at the 25 yard line. I went way too fast on these too - really should have slowed down and taken some extra time. I found squinting a bit helped with my sight picture.

That was a total 1-upping.

I will say, this course is one of the best drills available to develop and reinforce solid shooting fundamentals for a service pistol. It doesn't do much to help you shoot faster, but it will highlight any flaws you have in trigger control, grip, and sight alignment.

I don't think I've ever shot better than a 298 on this course, though a 295 with the Glock makes me happy. One day I will clean it, but I may have to get you to shoot it for me!

Completely agree.

The frustrating thing about that 299 was the first round I fired was the 9 ring. The next 29 were 10's...

[Francis]

Clearly not in the same league as you guys...

G19 gen 4
Freestyle
244 / 241 (I think, math is hard with groups like this)


Learned from the first string at 25 that a lower hold at distance is required. Seven of the first 10 hit at the top of 7 & 8 ring. I also need to learn about ballistics. This pistol seems to need a lower hold than with the G26, especially with 147 gr. Why that is I need to learn. With aging eyes, fuzzy sites and fuzzy target, a drill the dot hold is easier to manage. Couldn't make drill the dot work beyond 3 yds today.

While not happy with today's results I'm not entirely disappointed. I would have been satisfied with all 30 rds hitting the paper. A total of 5 missed. Not good. I was encouraged though to see that my hold adjustment worked in that the remaining strings were more in the black.

I think I'm going to work at this distance more both at the range and dry fire. I was surprised at how big the target looked at 15 yds. And while 15 secs initially seemed too short I ended up with time left over so there's some time to slow down and do better.

Short term goal will be 30 hits on paper, then 30 in the 8 ring. An aggressive, longer term goal will be 30 in the 9 ring.

Drill 1 w/ Lawman 147 gr





Drill 2 w/ Geco 124 gr
